Glittery Letters

I LOVE THIS!
This is perfect for gifts, attaching to gift boxes, hanging up, you could even make it into a Christmas ornament!
You Will Need:
1 pipe cleaner
2 glitter
3. glue


How To Make It:
First bend your pipe cleaner in a letter, or really any shape you want
then take your glue and squeeze it neatly over the whole thing. Than take your glitter and shake all over your letter or shape make sure you have newspaper under your project or glitter will get all over. So, after you have put the glitter on, pick your letter up at the very tip so that you don't get glitter and glue all over your hands, and shake it lightly over the newspaper.
Let Dry, and your done!

She Was Meant To Be A Makeup Artist!

Mary Margaret and I had been working recently on a makeup video for my blog...but it didn't work out that good. Then Anna ( 2 yrs. old) saw us and she said she wanted to do it, So here it is!
P.S I did not tell her to do anything! She just did it all on her own!

Halloween Craft, Day One: Sparkling Ghost

These things are most of the things you will be needing.

Googly Eyes

Pipe cleaners (white)


White fabric



Glitter

and a glue gun (plus scissors and a black marker)



How to make it: First take a large piece of your cloth and cut it into a circle. Make sure to keep the scraps that you cut.

Than lay the cloth down neatly, take your scraps and ball them up and put them in the middle of the cloth (this will be the stuffing for the head)

Than gather up the cloth around the scraps and tie your pipe cleaner around " the neck" as shown in the picture. Than you are done the body of you ghost. Now for the face. Plug in your glue gun and while it is heating up you can draw the face of your ghost using the marker. When your glue gun is hot enough take your googly eyes and glue them to your ghost. Just use a little drop because this hot glue is pretty messy. Than when you are done with the eyes it is time for the glitter. Okay so you might want to put your ghost on a newspaper sheet or something ( the glitter is also messy!) So take your glue gun and "draw" a line of glue where ever you want your glitter to be. You will have to do this last step quick because the glue dries very fast.
After you put the glue on you are going to take a handful of glitter and sprinkle it all over where you put the glue. It doesn't matter at all if it is all over the rest of your ghost.
Than after you do that, take your ghost and shake it over the newspaper and all of the extra glitter will fall off. After that your done!
